[PATCH RFC RFT v2 1/5] mm: Introduce ARCH_HAS_USER_SHADOW_STACK

From: Mark Brown <broonie@kernel.org>
Date: 2023-11-14 20:06:30
Also in: linux-kselftest, lkml
Subsystem: filesystems (vfs and infrastructure), memory management, memory management - core, memory mapping, proc filesystem, the rest, x86 architecture (32-bit and 64-bit) · Maintainers: Alexander Viro, Christian Brauner, Andrew Morton, David Hildenbrand, Liam R. Howlett, Lorenzo Stoakes, Linus Torvalds, Thomas Gleixner, Ingo Molnar, Borislav Petkov, Dave Hansen

Since multiple architectures have support for shadow stacks and we need to
select support for this feature in several places in the generic code
provide a generic config option that the architectures can select.
